IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE PAST, THE PRESENT, OR THE FUTURE?

Hello readers of the esoteric - you have reached right to the very bottom of things - phenomenology. This is my phenomenology blog which features my original Phillips Phenomenology and will also occasionally do posts like this when the media ventures into the world of `seeing the future' or issues of time, space and freewill or determinism. By the way - see my latest post on my blog http://www.theheavystuff.com/ concerning `seeing the future'.

CALLING ON MY READERS TO VOTE IN THE SIDE POLL

As you might know, my most read blog and indeed one of my most read ever postings was about freewill and determinism. That post was about a research study that tried to determine if fruitflies had `freewill' - an idea I expanded - to inquire if Humans had freewill. Clifford Pickover picked up the post on his site and his site was then picked up by BoingBoing > resulting in being my most read posting on The Heavy Stuff - here's the link http://theheavystuff.com/?p=26. I'll let you read the article to find if I leaned to the freewill side or the determinism side.

But, back to the question I've positioned in the title and as you can see -- IS the poll question I'm taking also on this website (it's just to the right - please vote). Once again, can ANY of the `3 categories of time' - past, present, future, - be changed. I will bet you have NEVER thought of this before. And, frankly, without a deeper understanding of phenomenology - is largely a meaningless question. I will try to traverse some of the various levels of this seemingly simple question.

Looking For Change

One might think that the simplest answer to this question could be applied to The Past. Obviously, it seems, the Past - cannot be changed. We cannot return, with our current space, to a previous moment, and produce a different timeline of reality. As far as we know, it has never been done; seems illogical, and if the past could be changed -- would anything be able to be confirmed as real? The time-flow seems to be only away from points in the determined past. If we are looking for change - it doesn't seem to be found in the past. (Right?)

Looking For Change

One might think that the simplest, most common answer to this question, is that The Present - is where change is found. But is it really? Isn't the present where `actualization' is found that `determines' the present? Determining it to the place that it literally can't change? So that it is placed as real? Could something that is determined and which joins the past --- a place we know no change exists - be the actual place that it is possible to change? Are the characteristics of the present more similar to the unchangeable past or the undetermined future?

Looking For Change

Since the past is unchangeable, and the present literally being The Determined Now, surely the place where change might exist is the future. One problem. The future doesn't exist. If change is placed in the future - it is placed in a location that literally doesn't exist. Can we really look for change there? In a location that doesn't exist?

Remember, we live on a planet. Our Earth is NOT in multiple locations simultaneously. Where the Earth surface will be in the future within the universe is not accessible within NOW as a real thing.

Self-Evidence

OR, is there ONLY change? Perhaps, only the past can be changed? IS our only perception - the change - from one moment to the next? Is reality not changed every moment? Is change the very definition of REAL to a conscious observer? Is not the past changed to the present and the present changed to the future?

The Phillips Phenomenology

For Sartre, the fundamental concepts describing the world were being in inself, being for itself, and being for others. With these concepts an entire philosophy was built.

The Phillips Phenomenology is based upon an emergence from nothingness to ableness. First as simply the concept of able-to-be from nothingness. Which included nothingness.

It can be said each of the remaining concepts could have arisen with simply the action above - more importantly is the `space' that is `assigned' to each meaning. The Phillips Phenomenology Concepts Are:

Able-To-Not-Be

Not-Able-To-Be

Not-Able-To-Not-Be

As a statement of fact - The Origin of the PP - may have been almost `channeled' information that indeed was triggered by altered states of mind on numerous occasions. These concepts first came thru in the early 1970's - after an ingestion of authors of an esoteric nature for several years.

Finally, these concepts, the PP, should probably be seen as a supplement to the ideas of Edmund Husserl - whose book - The Phenomenology of Internal Time Consciousness - may never have an equal as far as describing the internal singular consciousness of a human being.

It is my honor to be able to mention their names in association with what I consider to be my most original ideas. Please open your mind for The Phillips Phenomenology.

Does This MASK Provide To YOU A Pass Into The `Able To Not Be'?

The REM-Dreamer mask uses infrared sensors to detect when you are in REM (dreaming) sleep. At that point the REM-Dreamer device gives you sound and light cues (beeps and flashing lights) to remind you that you are dreaming. Thus, external world stimuli are transferred to the world of your dreams, and it becomes easy to achieve lucidity. The REM-Dreamer kit comes with a very comfortable sleeping mask with a small printed circuit board tucked inside that detects REM sleep, giving cues in the form of flashes or beeps. The kit also includes an LCD display device, which allows the user to adjust all settings very easily. The user can use any of several simple presets, or can customize the number of sounds and light flashes, their volume and brilliance, frequency per second, and duration. In addition, the REM sensor can be set to accurately track your personal REM eyeball movement - how cool is that? The device also comes with the 36-page user's manual. The REM-Dreamer has given many people the opportunity to experience lucid dreaming, and the opportunity to use this natural state of consciousness to program their subconscious, influence their behavior, explore the world of the mind, and work with habits of body and mind, depending on their own needs and desires.
There are 8 Reviews on this somewhat amazing product. It's perhaps pricy, but, can it really be considered to be expensive - to take a REAL mind vacation OFTEN?
Indeed, one reviewer used these words - "If you are a very deep sleeper it may be difficult to notice the cues but with practice it works well. You can expect a lucid Dream about every 4 out of 10 times !... It is a good unit for those who enjoy experimenting with metaphysical concepts.".
